[Sunday, Halloween]
Today was what a lot of people consider to be the scariest day of the year, for us we don’t do anything special. All we do is meet up at Ethan’s house and play games and devour a giant bowl of sweets.
That’s all there is, let’s just end this chapter here, it’s kinda boring if you ask me…
Or so we thought…
“Hwey…. Chomp chomp Owen… Chomp… Wan a wo? Chomp Chomp”
“Stop chewing and talking it’s gross.”
“It’s a wery chewy weet…”
“I don’t care if it’s chewy or rock hard just don’t talk, it’s not that hard…”
“Hmph, Fine…”
The three of us sat in silence doing what we normally did, Ethan was playing video games, Sean was reading comics on the bed whilst I was playing on my phone on the floor. We sat in silence most of the time and would often get to a point where we would discuss typical boy talk, you know, girls and such. Shame we are all loners who struggle to talk to girls.
“Shall we just move on to the ‘sacred’ talk?” asked Sean.
“Sure why not, let’s start with the obvious one…”
Here it comes…
“Owen…. Dodgeball? Nice one getting hit on purpose so you could have a lap pillow. I salute you, good sir.”
I didn’t mean to get hit.
“It’s not like that… she doesn’t like me just as much as I don’t like her.”
“Ehhhhhhh. Sure thing, buddy” Sean and Ethan said in unison.
“Oh yeah… You wanna talk, what about Drama? Huh? HUH? DRAMA??? REMEMBER THAT CRINGE???” At this point, I just want the attention to be off of me.
“What happened in Drama?” said Sean.
“GASP You mean you didn’t even tell him??” I said overly exaggerating the whole situation.
“It’s not important…”
“Oh! but it is my dear friends…basically, he has to do a play with her.”
THUD THUD
“What was that noise? Sounded like something hit a wall?” I asked.
“Must have been some kid outside.” Ethan replied.
“Good for you dude… baby steps… it’s just baby steps…”
Hearing Sean say something like that didn’t feel right.
THUD
“Those kids are really noisy huh?”
“Whatever, who cares about her anyway. To make matters worse, I have to work with her now…”
“PFFT, WHAT!” I said spitting out my drinking in shock. “That must suck!”
THUD THUD THUD
“Are you sure those are kids, sounded kinda close?”
“Maybe this house is haunted?” Sean said trying to spook us.
“Nah, definitely the kids, anyway as I was saying about Kay-”
THUDTHUDTHUDTHUDTHUDTHUD
The sound was getting louder and louder, the walls felt as if they would fall at any moment. The sound was echoing around us unable to be located.
“This is kinda scary…” Sean was trying to make us more scared even though it wasn’t working and we weren’t worried at all.
“Wait a minute….” Ethan said, “I think I know who our ghost is.”
Ethan left the room the and sound stopped, it wasn’t long before we could hear Ethan shout
“Bella! What are you doing?”
Turns out our friendly ghost was just Ethan’s sister trying to listen in…
